Find of the Day: 2004 HPA Turbocharged Volkswagen R32

Those who’ve been keeping a close eye on the Mk4 R32 market will be well aware that the vehicles seem to have really taken off recently, commanding numbers in the low teens for ratted-out models, and high teens for anything that’s seen a reasonable amount of care.  Every once in a while, though, you stumble upon one that actually seems to be priced right.  Today’s Find of the Day is just the R32 many of us have been looking for.

Over the past 12 years, this particular R32 seems to have had a pretty good life.  Modifications are mostly tame and valuable- like the KW Coilovers, Blue Haldex Controller, and Neuspeed Rear Sway Bar- making us believe that the car’s owners were loving parents.  Luckily for us they were also a bit mad, installing an HPA FT360 Turbo kit just one year after original purchase.  Factor in that it’s only got 83,000 miles, and it all adds up to a very attractive proposition.

This R32 is currently for sale on the Seattle, Washington edition of Craigslist for a seemingly quite reasonable $17,500. If we were in the same timezone, we’d have probably bought it already.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
